    One Build, 21277 is active by a digital method, but another, just upgraded to 21286, is not activated. Is there a How-To Activate that I am missing?

    is it ok to install insider build on top of activated retail windows 10? latest insider build has desktop watermark removed. If install insider build on top of activated retail windows 10, the activation license will be lost?

    Activation problem on build 10166

    Hello !

    I'm on Windows 10 Home Insider Preview, build 10166.

    I did a system recovery (the hardcore one, total cleaning, deleted files etc) and now I have a problem : my Windows is not activated anymore.

    Of course, my original Windows 8 version was a LEGAL OEM one, and I had no problem with build 10166 before, but it looks like the recovery provocked some kind of bug...

    I tried most of what is on this page: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...10-build/33f31475-93b3-4d1c-812f-4b21fbd807a7

    except the phone thing.

    Can somebody help me:

    - Upgrade to build 10240 ?

    - Activate my build 10166 ?

    Thanks in advance !
